They even "stole" the baby daughter that was supposed to Fu YunShen and Zhu Jiu's ππIve never felt so cheated…
The five year jump was just a BTW closure ending. Did it take five years to sell Grandma's house, and Yunshen to propose to Zhu Jiu? I thought Grandma's daughter owned the house since Zhu Jiu gave her the paperwork. I guess it took five years for Zhu Jiu to become a medical lecturer, and the Danmin vaccine to be invented.
I have no empathy for Fu Xi Zhou, and I feel very sorry for Ruan Ruan. A leopard does not change its spots. He will change back into his conniving, manipulative self, and neglect his children and wife.
It was painstaking watching the main characters being tortured emotionally or physically for thirty-nine episodes. I am just relieved that it is over, and that the characters are out of sight, out of mind. I did not drop the drama because of the leads, Cheng Yi and Zhang Yu Xi. They kept the drama flowing, even when it dragged with the singing and evilness on screen. Cheng Yi is the official Melodrama King. Yunshen suffered physically and emotionally, and/or cried in two-thirds of the drama, Fu Yunshen would have lived a happy life with a different mother. Zhang Yu Xi is Main Lead Queen of the Month. Zhu Jiu put up with a lot of sh^& from Mother Jiang Shu Ning.
Final rating: 8, with deductions for the singing and the pathetic villains and their evilness
This should be labeled as a musical melodrama. The singing was extraneous, overt and repetitive. If the director wanted so much singing, he should have given the songs to the characters to sing in the scenes, instead of using phantom singers. Otherwise the BGM was very good.
It was no surprise that the two pathetic villains, Fu Xi Zhou and Jiang Shu Ning, had their redemption at the end. They were unscrupulous, vindictive, manipulative. They should have died instead of the nicer people, Grandpa, Dr Ji, Aunty Dr Addy, Grandma, Zhu Jiu's Mother and Father. I was cringing when Ruan Ruan and Xi Zhou reunited at the end, and had babies.
The singing diluted the emotion on screen. If they had trimmed the singing and some of the episodic content, it would have been effective as 30 episode drama.
This drama reminds me of the Kdramas with the drama plot and incessant singing and the song quality. In particular, Zhu Jiu and Yunshen reminded me of the Winter Sonata lead couple, Yu Jin and Joon Sang, with their emotional torture and the manipulative mothers.
why does it hurt to see FYS cry πππππ !?!!!!! also that song that plays during these scenes is…
Director and Producer must have been pushing that song, ...I love you, I love you.., for Song of the Year Award. It was pretty, but annoying, and extraneous. I had to turn down the volume many times.
I am glad they ended up together. However, the ending was a bit disappointed. I couldn't fine one reason to forgive…
I was not surprised that XiZhou and Mother Jiang had their redemption in the end, even though they were pathetic, pitiful, manipulative, evil minded, vindictive. I was disappointed that they lived, while good people died.
Ep 19: Tian Tian should have walked in, while Seng Chen was in the room. Time to show that he is a player, and that he is not serious about working at the TianLian Hospital.
Why does Shen Chen call the Uncle, Pa? Does he and Shen Mi have the same mother, and is she married to the former brother-in-law? That is cringey, to marry the dead husband's brother.
Also, is the FL really the villainess from Mysterious Lotus Casebook??? I kept thinking she looked familiar but…
Thanks for mentioning the FL actress. I had no idea that she was the villainess Jiao in MLC. She looks so different as Tian Tian, that I didn't even connect the dots. She is too cute.
